"Food for the hungry cannot come from empty shelves. Money to assist the needy cannot come from an empty purse. Support and understanding cannot come from the emotionally starved. Teaching cannot come from the unlearned. And most important of all, spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak"

I just wanted to let you all know that I have started a blog that is a record for me and my family during this time that our daughter is going through chemotherapy. If you are interested in reading about our experiences, here is the site: http://www.atlastiseethelight.com/

It is starting to be quite a book, but the posts will get shorter and I'll put more pictures on. I just wanted to get the whole story covered of our crazy beginning times.

I will still try to do new posts here when I can! Thanks for your support!

With my daughter doing chemotherapy, we have to be careful with the food she eats. Her diet is really pretty normal, we just have to make sure cold foods are cold, hot foods are hot, nothing out of bulk bins, and making sure fresh foods are very fresh. The goal is to stay away from any bacteria and mold. So, my daughter loves strawberries, but I don't make it to the store every couple of days to get her fresh strawberries.

Well, in my food storage I have some #10 cans of freeze dried fruit. I had the great idea to open the can of strawberries for her to eat and she loves them. This has been a great snack for her and I don't have to be so picky about which strawberry looks good.

I also love these pour-able containers from Wal-Mart. My other kids tend to just reach in and grab crackers or whatever out of the box. So, I got a few of these containers that pour really easily and we can avoid germy hands contaminating snacks.

And my the way, Kayla is doing awesome with her treatments so far. It's going to be long, but's it's going to be do-able. Thanks for your support and prayers on our behalf!
